See attached photos and let me know what you think. I was leaning towards Cherry until I split it, now I'm not sure.


Thanks

Looks like Black Cherry to me as well.

I just got some that looked exactly like that and board concluded that it was black cherry.

That's what I call cherry....

Thanks for the replies. I was fairly certain that is was Cherry. Any Cherry that I have previously split, split really clean. This was a little stringy, so I started second guessing myself.

Gotta be Cherry, but the split face looks more grainy than what I usually see here..reminiscent of White Ash.

Looks like all the black cherry I split from my woods, none of it is straight

It all depends on where the tree was sourced, a tree growing in a wooded area tends to be more straight vs a tree growing in a yard, field, or more open area like the edge of the woods, prevailing winds tend to cause a twist along with growing towards sun light.
